It was described in the ''Next Generation'' magazine as having exclusive tracks and vehicles, Rumble Pak support and the series' trademark gameplay mechanics. However, the game was ultimately canceled between late 1998 and early 1999 after Electronic Arts signed a deal with Volkswagen to make a game around the New Beetle, and the ''Need for Speed 64'' project was shelved in favor of developing ''Beetle Adventure Racing''.
*** A concept pitched to Electronic Arts around 2008, according to the portfolio page of a former presentation director of EA Black Box, was a game whose goal was to answer the question "How can large scale street races take place in a post-9/11 U.S. city?" Tentatively titled ''Need for Speed 10: [=TerrorFive=]'', [[https://www.unseen64.net/2020/04/10/nfs10-terrorfive-cancelled/ concept]] [[http://cargocollective.com/wyliestyles/EA-Need-For-Speed-10 art]] depicts a group of street racers named "[=TerrorFive=]", alongside a mockup of gameplay in which players seemingly hack into police cars. Yes, apparently at one point, ''Need for Speed'' seriously considered doing a [[PostNineElevenTerrorismMovie Post-9/11 Terrorism Video Game]].
*** There were plans for an online-only game developed by Criterion Games, which started development around 2008 after the release of ''VideoGame/BurnoutParadise'' and ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover'', that would've been titled ''Need for Speed: Millionaire''. It would have seen the player and their friends go on adventures after a winning the lottery and using the money to purchase supercars, [[https://www.gamesradar.com/uk/burnouts-creative-director-alex-ward-takes-us-behind-the-scenes-of-the-acclaimed-racing-series/ described by Criterion director Alex Ward]] as "Freeburn meets ''Series/{{Top Gear|UK}}'' challenges". The game was worked on for sixth months and had a playable version, but was canceled in favor of the 2010 ''Hot Pursuit''.

** During [[TheNineties the late 90s]] and [[TurnOfTheMillennium early 2000s]], it was ''VideoGame/TestDrive''. ''Test Drive'' fell off by the wayside and had a brief resurgence with ''VideoGame/TestDriveUnlimited'', but that series was eventually defeated by EA's series, although a third ''TDU'' is in development for a planned 2022 release.

** The 2015 reboot had a few.
*** Shortly after its release (though now more rarely) it was called ''Need for Speed: Underground 3'', despite Ghost Games explicitly stating that it's not.
*** PC gamers and PC Gaming Wiki call it ''Need for Speed'' (20'''16'''), since it did not come out on Windows until that year.
** ''Shift 2: Unleashed'' gets the ''Need for Speed'' name attached to the beginning by fans anyway since it still uses ''NFS'' branding, giving it the [[LongTitle lengthy title]] of ''Need for Speed: Shift 2 – Unleashed'', in reference to the logo, among other things.
